Delivers 40g of carbohydrates in a 65g serving using Hydrogel Technology with a minimalist six-ingredient formula free from added colours, preservatives, or flavours.

Maurten Energy Gel 160 is a professional‑grade endurance fuelling solution designed to support athletes during prolonged training sessions and competitive events where maintaining steady energy delivery is critical to performance. Gel 160 provides more carbohydrates than Gel 100, offering a higher energy density that can reduce the number of gels needed during long races or training blocks. Each 65g serving delivers 40g of carbohydrates through an optimised mix of glucose and fructose in a 0.8:1 ratio of fructose and glucose, which helps the body absorb carbohydrates efficiently and sustain energy levels over long durations. The Hydrogel Technology efficiently delivers carbohydrate while maintaining gut comfort. With just six ingredients, the formulation is minimalist yet highly effective, containing no added colours, preservatives or flavours, making it suitable for athletes with sensitivities or those who prefer clean nutrition.

Gel 160 is Informed Sport certified, ensuring that it meets rigorous testing standards for sports supplements and is trusted by elite competitors worldwide.

Whether for marathon running, cycling, triathlon or other endurance disciplines, Gel 160 supports strategic fuelling with its high carbohydrate content, neutral taste, and gentle stomach profile for peak performance when it matters most.

Key Features:

  • Individual 65g sachet: Convenient single-serve packets.
  • 40g of carbohydrates per 65g serving: To support sustained energy output.
  • Hydrogel Technology: Encapsulates carbohydrates in a unique biopolymer matrix that facilitates smooth transit through the stomach into the small intestine, reducing gastrointestinal discomfort and enabling reliable energy uptake even under intense exertion.
  • Six ingredients: Water, glucose, fructose, calcium carbonate, gluconic acid, sodium alginate - no added colours, preservatives or flavours - for a minimalist, performance‑focused formula.
  • 0.8:1 ratio of fructose and glucose: To optimise carbohydrate absorption.
  • Informed Sport certified: Gives athletes confidence in product safety and quality.  

Carbohydrate uptake usually takes 15 to 20 after ingestion of the gel. The peak maximum uptake is reached at approximately 30 to 45 minutes and most of the carbohydrates is absorbed within 60 to 75 minutes of consumption.

Maurten products are designed to have little to no flavour or taste. Flavour may be added but avoid using products with high acidity as this will affect the hydrogel structure and therefore the effectivity of the product.
